The document introduces linear and non-linear text, as well as two types of hypertext - static and dynamic. It defines hypertext as text displayed electronically with hyperlinks that allow the reader to access other related text. Static hypertext displays the same content for all users, while dynamic hypertext allows users to interact with and change the information displayed.
7. Linear Text Non-linear
Text
> refers to traditional text that needs
to be read from beginning to the end
> refers to text that does not need to be
read from beginning to the end.
> It is not always advantageous
> It is time-consuming
> It is the traditional method of
reading the way how children are
taught.
> It allows readers to find information
more efficiently.
> It takes time to read
> It is a new method of reading
and can be used by devices.
11. Hypertext is a non-linear way to
present information and is usually
accomplished using “links”. Such
links help the readers navigate
further information about the topic
being discussed and may also lead
to other links that can direct the
readers to various options.
What is
hypertext?
In hypertext, text no longer flows in a
straight line through a book. Instead,
it is broken down into many smaller
units.
12. Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with references (hyperlinks) to other
text that the reader can immediately access.[1] Hypertext documents are interconnected by hyperlinks, which are
typically activated by a mouse click, keypress set, or screen touch. Apart from text, the term "hypertext" is also
sometimes used to describe tables, images, and other presentational content formats with integrated hyperlinks.
Hypertext is one of the key underlying concepts of the World Wide Web,[2] where Web pages are often written in
the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). As implemented on the Web, hypertext enables the easy-to-use
publication of information over the Internet.

14. TWO TYPES OF HYPERTEXT
1. STATIC HYPERTEXT 2. DYNAMIC HYPERTEXT
> These are ones that are fixed and
display the same content for every user.
> It is more functional. It allows users to

EXAMPLE:
Writing is a medium of human communication that
involves the representation of a language through a
system of physically inscribed, mechanically
transferred, or digitally represented symbols.
Writing systems are not themselves human
languages (with the debatable exception
of computer languages); they are means of
rendering a language into a form that can be
reconstructed by other humans separated by time
and/or space.
Writing may be defined as any conventional
system of marks or signs that represents
the utterances of a language. Writing renders
language visible. Whereas speech is
ephemeral, writing is concrete and, by
comparison, permanent. Both speaking and
writing depend upon the underlying structures
of language.
16. Direction: Read and identify the
statement whether it is static or dynamic.
Say SH if the presented statement is
static hypertext and DH if it is dynamic
hypertext.
17. THESE ARE ONES THAT ARE FIXED AND
DISPLAY THE SAME CONTENT FOR EVERY
USER.
Statement No. 1
